One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Question 01:Did a women is allowed to do eatkaf out of from  his house. just like in any Mosque whre a seprarte postion is alloted for ladies.

 

Question 02:Does a women is allowed to do eatkaf in majid Haram (makka) or in Mosque of prophet in madina

 

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

 

Answer:

 

Are women allowed to do itikaf

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Question-01: :Did a women is allowed to do eatkaf out of from  his house.  just like in

any Mosque whre a seprarte postion is alloted for ladies.

The believing women are allowed and permitted to perform their ‘itikaf’ in the masjids.  It is reported that the wives of the Noble Prophet (saws) always performed their ‘itikaf’ in Ramadan in the Prophet’s Masjid in Madinah.

 

Question-02:Does a women is allowed to do eatkaf in majid Haram (makka) or in Mosque of prophet in madina

It is allowed and permitted for the believing woman to perform their ‘itikaf’ in the Sacred Masjid in Makkah or in the Prohet’s Masjid in Madinah or in any other Masjid on the earth where congregational prayers are held.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,
